what kernel is on your phone?
[Epic 4G General] rockrerun:
my battery was very erratic too after updating to EB13. I just flashed it a second time with odin, and now my battery lasts longer than it ever has!

I'm not sure if this would help you, but it certainly helped me :)

FYI: I flashed the ext4 version from the dev page, and it seems to run a lot better after an odin flash.
[Epic 4G General] bmorrissette:
Stock EB13 kernel.

Se.nt from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
[Epic 4G General] danmax2010:
35% Charged

Mine been charging up to 35% all day, Im a try to let it charge all night see what i get in the morning :confused:
[Epic 4G General] bmorrissette:
It takes 8 hours to charge the battery, where it took around 2 hours befre the update. The phone is also hot as well, where it never was when on DI18
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
mine also takes quite a while to charge, but lasts quite a while as well..

I like the long lasting part.. the slower charging stinks though. :/
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
You may need to wipe your battery stats.
[Epic 4G General] bmorrissette:
How would i wipe the battery stats
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
That was mostly directed at some of the others in the thread.

If you issue is just that it seems to take too long to charge then wiping stats in CWM (you have to use the one click root - not sure if you can do it in stock recovery) *might* help.

Your issue seems a little different - the phone should NOT run hot like that. Even overclocked to 1.2 mine doesn't get very hot unless I'm really pushing it while it's charging. Have you tried reflashing your phone? Backup everything important and try the Samsung updater tool (it'll wipe everything and start you fresh on EB13).
[Epic 4G General] bmorrissette:
Only computer available is a mac so reflashing is a no go
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
You can try a Sprint store if you have one near.
[Epic 4G General] kos26:
I had similar problems with eb13. Battery went from about half to dead in a minute or two and i kept getting force closes on some apps. Went back to dk28. I was running the genocide kernel.
[Epic 4G General] bmorrissette:
All my sprints stores say that their software is incompatible to reflash the OS.
[Epic 4G General] jtw78:
I flashed from the Samsung updater and then did a battery test. After a full charge I was able to go 34 hours down to 3%. A lot of that time was in sleep mode for the phone, but I also was running live wallpaper and had GPS on the entire time and WiFi off and on throughout. I'm pretty impressed with the battery chops.
[Epic 4G General] bondosho:
I agree with this. I got 25 hours with moderate use. Facebooking, twittering, uploading pics, even went to the gym and streamed music with Double Twist for an hour. Battery is amazing.
[Epic 4G General] bmorrissette:
Guess ill have to get hold of a windows pc and reflash with samsung updater
[Epic 4G General] ydoucare:
Mine charges fine, but it WILL NOT sleep. Same issue I had in DK28. I have NO idea what could be causing it. I've hardly installed anything, and the only widget I have is the "Battery Life" widget and I've even tried killing it and no change, won't sleep. Don't know what to do other than go back to DI18.
[Epic 4G General] ms79723:
yeah...my phone has been running hot as balls lately. I've never gotten into the 100's before like this...usually just surfing with 3G im in the mid 80s..now I stay in the high 90s going to 100s :/
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
Batteries that take a long time to charge need to be replaced.

Sent from Bonsai 5.0.3
[Epic 4G General] sponge66:
Agreed, I'm sure if you load tested that battery it would fail. In fact if its getting that hot I would suggest trying to replace it asap. That same sprint store that's refrusing to look at your rom has a tech making that decision. Sprint sells a battery and travel charger. Grab one the travel charger rox
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
And the sprint external charger will get your battery to 100%

[Epic 4G General] redram38:
Mine has been getting hot the past 2 days as well. Also it will show 70% but after a reboot it will be at 15 % and I get the low battery message. EB13 Supervova Rom with Geocide Kernel.

Followup.

I may have found out why my battery was getting so hot. I installed Vipers Gov remover Sat and it was the next day my trouble started. I also could not stay connected to slingplayer. I removed it and all seems to be working again. Slingplayer has been on for about 45 minutes and the phone is just a little bit warm which is normal. I may be wrong but it seems to have fixed my issues.
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
They have a mac version of the tool also. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SPH-D700ZKASPR#
[Epic 4G General] mcdavid:
The "mac version" is just the update.zip file. It doesn't work like the windows version that works like Odin and allows you to update from any ROM you may be on. To use the update.zip file, you have to be on di18.
[Epic 4G General] ms79723:
idk what my phone was doing...but I did absolutely nothing and now my phone doesnt heat up like it used to. Well, I did switch from my extended battery to my regular stock battery...then switched back to the extended because the stock was overheating. The extended was overheating like crazy too, so I just charged it overnight adn now its all good. weird...

How sure are you of this? and what is your basis for making this claim?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alec5216:
I can't find out how to sync only certain gmail contacts groups on my new Atrix. Is it even possible?. It's simple on the captivate contacts app!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badnokia:
Having same problem with gmail group contacts. Can't sync them to my Atrix. I've read on other forums that others are having the same problem. Some people are suggesting it is an a problem specific to the Atrix.

The best solution I've found is to install Contact GroupU from the Market. It synced my gmail group contacts okay, but I will say when I look under "All Contacts" in Contact GroupU, things get a little weird (a lot of repeats). Also, if I try to put a contact from my phone's contacts into a GroupU group, it does not seem to sync back to gmail group contacts. So it hasn't been perfect, but for me it is better than not having the groups at all.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goodm7sn:
Is there a way to import the facebook contacts stored on my HTC Desire HD handset to google by utilising the auto-sync feature?

I have synced my phone with facebook and now want to transfer the email addresses,photos and birthdays of my facebook friends to google contacts.

I understand from reading posts on other forums that there are a few ways to do this, such as manually importing and exporting csv filesor by way of a script , but this will require a manual update whenever I have a new facebook contact.

Seeing that my phone could auto-sync with both FB and Google, is there a way to automatically transfer new FB contacts to google whenever I hit the "Sync" button on my phone?

cheers

Hey Frnds, Sorry if this was asked before but, i am so confused after reading so many problems and solutions too on here as well as on net....

I need a little help from you on my Desire Bootloop problem...

i have the problem since a few days.

first time i notice it,was when the desire was charghing and i used it a bit,it restarts again and again.so i put out the battery and wait a few minutes,than it works.

it´s also,when i use it a long time with Mpas, wifi etc the phone turns off and i have the boot loop.

but when i take out my sim,it works fine.

my question is,do i need a new sim or is it a hardware problem?

i wanna commit that i have unbranded (Purchased from Indian grey market b4 official launch of desire in INDIA) phone and i am unable to send it to HTC repair center.

i tried different ROM's available here on XDA but, same problem with all.....Is there any way to unroot the phone (may solve my problem)

Below are the details of my desire

Bravo PVTI SHIP S - ON

HBOOT - 0.08.0000

MICRO - 03id

TOUCH PANEL - SYNW0101

RADIO - 5.09.05.30_2

MAR 29 2010, 21:34:33

I am using CM7 now.

i also would like to add few observations of past 2 days...Might help you to find right way....

After reading so many threads on reboot issues of Froyo....i shut off my Mobile Internet (2G - Vodafone).Phone had never restarted (Once only in 2 days after a long phone call i.e. 20 Mins+)

i tried to on 2G 4-5 times to get my mails...All time immediately restarted...

so, my conclusion is because 2G net connection....

Please try to help me ..... Thanks Again

Someone please atleast try to give me some directions.....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman83:
Sadly bootloops are a part of all gingerbread roms at the moment, it's a fault in the code from Google.

The latest 2.3.3 builds are supposed to resolve this, though I don't know how long before CM will have this integrated.

The only things I can suggest -

a) reboot manually every day or two - chances of bootloop are worse the longer it runs

b) if you get a bootloop, hold power + vol down + trackpad and it will break the loop without having to pull out your battery.

M.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
That isn't necessarily true. I've no 1 bootloop and I have flash Gingerbread roms dozens of times. I find if you reflash the rom it usually boots up fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asp2010:
I haven't had bootloops either (using Redux), but in the ROM's thread, everybody who does solves the problem by flashing a new kernel (usually Coutts). I've never used CM, so I'm not really sure if it helps, but you could give it a try :D Btw, please be careful if the kernel you're applying does undervolting or overclocking, and make sure you're not flashing a FroYo kernel while using a Gingerbread system or vice-versa :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] carnivalrejectq:
Does anybody know wich if any kernels are compatible with clockworkmod3? I have returned to stock eclair and am trying to flash just a kernel to stock but am having no luck. I thought maybe using an old version of clockwork to get it to work but I cant seem to get my phone rooted with anything but cwm3. If i cant flash just a kernel.....is bakedsnack or syndacite rom flashable through cwm3? Im really stuck here. I keep getting errors and failed attempts with all older versions of clockwork.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lazyart:
None, and wrong place for this (Hint: Q/A)
[Epic 4G Android Development] carnivalrejectq:
Yea I should have posted it in the q n a section. Didn't occur to me till after I posted , lol. So someone kindly move it please. But anyways , what version of clockwork can I use to flash just a kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dekeMX:
For stock eclair, DI18, I would use clockwork 2.5.5. This supports rfs as to where cwm 3 supports EXT4 which is different. Not to be rude, but how did you miss the Q&A section?
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
I guess the same way all the others do to.

Sent from my Evo Killer!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] carnivalrejectq:
Didn't miss it. I'm aware its there ,lol. I just wasn't thinkin about it when postng. I should just exclusivley post there lol since all my posts are usually questions. Ok though , so to flash a kernel I do so the sameway as a rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DiGi760:
Yes, as long as it has been put in a flashable zip.

Currently, there are no kernels for 2.1 that have been modded to support ext4, but there is no reason that it can't be done.

I have also posted instructions several times on how to manually install a different clockwork, but the search is down at the moment.
[Epic 4G Android Development] carnivalrejectq:
well i see theres a camera fix with the genocide kernel.....can i use cwm3 on froyo to flash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] carnivalrejectq:
Wow well I finally got cw2.5 to work and flashed eb13 back and the genoice kernel. This phone is actually pretty epic now. Awesome.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoman24v:
I'm surprised, with the N1 getting 2.3.3 there's been no talks about what this means for us Incredible owners. I mean the N1 shares many of the same features as our phone. Anyone with an N1 care to shine in about the new OTA?

What does this mean for us?

720p?

Hardware acceleration?

Anything else needing fixed that now can be fixed?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oddity:
I thought hardware acceleration wasn't enabled until honeycomb. So ice cream would be the first version on phones with it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illuminarok:
I'm fairly certain CM7 already has hardware acceleration.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
you are right.

You would know if there was no HW acceleration. Tremendously sloww. HW acceleration is on a phone by phone bassis though. Manufacturers decide if HW acceleration is to be included in the device.

So I updated to the official 2.2 (go ahead and boo). My wife has the Aria and I did her upgrade a few hours ago, and her Aria is running 2.2.2. It weird that the Captivate only got 2.2 and not 2.2.2?

It's weird that the Captivate even got 2.2
[Captivate General] curti.nogg:

Its not that odd, as HTC as always been one step ahead of the others, when it comes to updates. It will most likely see 2.3 as well long before we do.

[Captivate General] Seanbest:
It's not a "boo hoo" thread. Just wondering if anyone else was surprised. AT&T and HTC were saying it was 2.2 and never mentioned 2.2.2 so I was surprised when I upgraded her phone last night.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Dont take it personal. He was just commenting on something I said awhile back. We know this is not a boohoo thread.

could you get me a screen shot of her phone? I want to see the about screen.
[Captivate General] jperiod:
So what does the .2 add to 2.2? Anything major?

Jperiod
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Well the update from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 is a few bug fixes from what I have seen. Like an sms fix for sending out wrong sms to the wrong person, but if going from 2.2 to 2.2.2 then there are alot of extras like BT dialing, better support for exchange accounts, the SMS fix and a few other things I am sure

Thanks I have a buddy with this phone back east and wanted to see if it was worth having him give it a shot but sense he is on cyanogenmod I think Ill have him stay where he is for now.

As for your question yeah it is normal for HTC to be ahead of the rest on updates. To be honest if ATT had the Inspire when I got the Galaxy then I would have gotten it instead as I know the updates are more often and they are easier to mod. Thanks for the SS
[Captivate General] zelendel:
That is the one I read about for the update.
[Captivate General] FishDoc:
I know it would be a fair amount of work and I don't have the moxie to do it, but it would sure be nice to have an objective pro/con list of Froyo, 2.2.2, 2.3, and a few of the top XDA Roms now available. I'm happy that I've gone to the "dark side" but I have to admit that I'm curious about the pros/cons of returning to stock versus all the other alternatives. I really wonder if 2.3 will/would be a significant advance over what we now have available. Any thoughts?
[Captivate General] Seanbest:
No problem.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
And my point is proved here lol

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] troby1986:
To improve performance of your phone until ROMs arrive, here are some tips:

1. Download Root Explorer/Titanium Backup, and remove uneccesary bloatware

2. Download stock 2.2 Launcher2 or ADWLauncher EX, and completely scrap all TouchWiz APKs.

3. Disable animations under Settings/Display.

4. Download SetCPU, and set the max to 998 and set the min to 375.

5. To improve battery life and performance for now, you can also remove all Live Wallpaper stuff.

If anyone has any more tips, please share here. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] princedwi:
Disable Samsung & T-Mobile syncing services. Those will use up battery and may occasionally slow down your phone.

I can't see many other tips that you'd need, but guaranteed, this 2.2 rom is plenty fast! This is coming from a N1 with CM7 RC1. I'm very impressed, and I'm sure the Galaxy S II will be above the curve as well.

I use playon. It works for me.
[G Tablet General] stlewis98:
Another option

If you are mostly interested in TV shows you can do what I did and get TV Shows Stream. Try the free version first of course . The full version costs $4 but well worth it to me. I was really bummed about Netflix not working until I got this instead. It's great.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] SudevG:
Hello,

I'm little confused...

I've purchased my Milestone in December 2010 from India. So should it be APAC or EMEA?

Tottally Stock ROM, not yet rooted, the Settings says following:

Firmware version: 2.1-update1

Firmware configuration version: GAS_EMEA_USAHLS00RTINT_P016

Baseband version: 3GSMEPU91A_U_91.07.56I

Baseband configuration version: UCASHLSMR2EMEAB1806D.0R

Kernel version: 2.6.29-omap1 milestcm@il93lnxebld05 #1

Build number: SHOLS_U2_02.36.0

Can someone please guide me?

Update: It has got MotoNav software with maps of India preinstalled. So I think it should be APAC, but the versions shows "EMEA" so I'm confused.

Thanks

i was fixing my brick vibrant using odin. i loaded up the files called 512.pit, and T959UVJI6, and i started the odin with my download moded vibrant pluged into computer and also with the re-partition checked. i know that i shouldn't have checked re-partition but i didn't know :(

here is what went so wrong. hysterically, my vibrant was unpluged somehow while the odin was processing something even it said 'DO NOT REMOVE TARGET'.

now i got a new brick vibrant. (look at the picture attached)

computer no longer be able to read my device and the phone won't goto download mode.

(power bottom + voulme up and down is not working, and also taking off battery+SIMcard+SDcard and pressing up/down volume and re-insert batter not working)

help me~
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Go to the sticky it has some detailed info on how to fix,

Basically you will need to go into recovery by using the hold down the volume/on buttons with the battery removed and then plug the usb into the computer with Odin already up, this should get you back into recovery then:

1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.

2. Extract the files.

3. While in download mode load the files.

4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.

5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.

6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.

7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.

8. Now, pull your battery.

9. Download the 'JFD file

11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.

12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.

13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.

14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!

good luck...............
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Banterer:
Been there dude. Just keep trying to get Odin to recognize it, maybe restart your PC. I may have also tried rebooting into Download mode (3 buttons) to get the issue resolved. Just keep at it in Odin.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
Try these steps if you havent already:

1. Remove USB from phone, take the battery out and put it back in (to make sure its off)

2. Open Odin and plug USB into PC

3.Hold both Vol buttons while connecting USB to phone

4. Phone should go into download.

If not then you need a JIG

First though keep you sim and SD card in, pull the battery, open up the program, connect your USB cable to the phone, then put the battery back in! Baywolfs program will detect it, you'll see a port yellow color appear, you now can do a restore, click the flash to stock button, and click pit, use his drop-down list, its already provided, then hit the PDA button, use the tar file he again provided, now its ready, hit the start button, and It will re-flash it back to Eclair 2.1.1 with 0 defects, its an awesome program, and this was the only program, that got me up and running, ODIN and Heimdall's wouldn't respond, but this one saved my ass! trust me, I was in the same scenario, your in! I now have axura 2.3.1.0 up and back running, and I got into that delimna by trying to downgrade a modem, and ODIN totally hosed me up! ;)
